"We went to a Harry Potter tour and it was amazing! I am a Harry Potter fan and my boyfriend is one of those people who saw the movie, liked it but not crazy about it and he loved the tour. The guide Roisin was very knowledgeable, funny, full of energy. We loved her style. Definitely recommend!!"

"I really enjoyed the Harry Potter tour! Daniel told us all about JK Rowling, where she got the ideas to write the books and where she got the inspiration. The fact he added personal experiences makes the tour unique :) I definitely recommend it."

"We did the Harry Potter walking tour. Johnathan was an engaging and knowledgeable guide and the hour and a half flew by. We would highly recommend this free tour where you pay what you feel the tour is worth at the end."
